  That’s quite a list of links, my good chum.

  It seems like this Boycott will at least make some sort of mark out there.

  After reading a lot of comments on several of these other sites…I think a lot of people are missing the point…EA wants you to pay to unlock something ALREADY ON THE DISK!. I don’t mind lame DLC…I won’t buy it…but even if I did at least I could take heart in the fact that I was paying developers for extra time spent creating the crappy DLC. In this case…we’re paying twice. Shenanigans!

  Congratulations to everyone on their efforts so far! This is quite an impressive list. I was scrolling down and not expecting it to take that long. This is good stuff here gents.

  Theres definitely a limit to this tomfoolery and someone has found it. Heres hoping EA kicks themselves in the ass hard enough to realize they messed up.

  Apparently if you pre-order through gamestop and give EA your money even faster, you will receive a GameStop Exclusive Limited Edition Sniper Rifle.

  You inspired the two of us at tiny little Gaming Dungeon to hold our own boycott on another DLC that’s just as ridiculous. I’ve been supportive of your boycott from the beginning, companies like EA or in our boycott’s example, Square-Enix are going too far. If they see this works EA will start charging for even more stuff and who knows? Square-Enix may charge you for party members in FFXIII. I am getting sick of how DLC has been abused. Rock Band = Good DLC, some map packs = good, this stuff is just awful.

  I said it before, and I’ll say it again,

  well don’t just sit there masturbating all over your success - you’ve got a following, now do something with it. Instruct the following to email one particular email addy at EA, preferably someone involved with community relations. Send word of the boycott’s momentum to EA by phone, fax, email and carrier pigeon. Don’t just sit there clapping your hands together like a mentally handicapped child playing basketball saying “yay I made a basket” - keep going. You’re fighting the good fight - but keep fighting!

  Seriously, what are your future plans?

  Good work, and keep it up.

• 13 Lono // Apr 9, 2008 at 11:57 am

  Once we believe that we’ve rallied a sufficient amount of troops, then STAGE 2 will begin.

  Stay tuned.

• 14 What The Geek // Apr 9, 2008 at 12:02 pm

  just bear in mind that EA won’t feel the effects of a boycott until the product is actually launched - so until that point they’ll stick with the strategy they’ve already got. Everyone’s got a voice on the internet - and large companies are sorta internet deaf. Be sure to throw it in EA’s face in any way you can - like I said before, phone, fax, email, and carrier pigeon. If you get enough people interested in the boycott who live near an EA office, try to set up a good ol’ fashioned rally. Perhaps you could have people mail something specific (postcard, pic of BF: BC w/ a “no” symbol around it, ect) to the EA offices

  Just food for thought. Keep up the good work.

  From reading the comments on digg and other sites people just liek a good fire. I started forumn posts at some even smaller sites. still awaiting their feedback.

  I have tried 3 times to add my name to these boycott lists. (It kept telling me to input a name and email) WHich was in their.

• 16 mike // Apr 9, 2008 at 12:47 pm

  YEAH! been behind this since the beginning. at first i was afraid it wouldnt work so fast. but looking at all the big names behind this…wow.

  we DO have more power than we realize, its time we decide how the games should be.

• 17 Daave3k // Apr 9, 2008 at 1:02 pm

  I am in full support of this boycott,

  What do you think the chances are that they end up giving the guns away for joining ea online or something and pretend that that was there plan all along?

  EA its in the game (but you still have to pay for it).

• 18 ShagsterP // Apr 9, 2008 at 1:08 pm

  I’ve already decided to boycott it, along with my friends I usually play as a squad with on previous Battlefield titles.

  I think it’s like this for others, but this is less of a single incident enragement and more of a final straw in a line of straws. Balancing issues, patches causing more problems than fixing them, and EA STILL can’t get their game to stop randomly crashing servers in 2142 (but the last patch was so PERFECT for them that they decided the game no longer needed any support).

  This was a long time coming, and I hope it makes a difference. This certainly eased my decision for Call of Duty 4 over this game, and that’s after devotedly playing the previous two Battlefields.

  Stage 2 is we build a “Laser” on the moon. This project will be dubbed “Star Wars”

  Pretty soon EA will notice this and make a statement and when that comes, I’m going to laugh my ass off…

  (But they’ll laugh their ass off all the way to the bank with Madden.)

• 25 RK1 WhiteKnight // Apr 9, 2008 at 4:35 pm

  Were right behind this as well (rk1gaming.net). We started off as a Battlefield clan nearly 3 years ago and EA are simply exploiting the fan base. It would be fine if it was actually down loadable content but its already on the disk.

  Anyway I’m glad that someones taking a strong stand on what many communities around the world see as a major issue
